Ole Hartland out there waking up our Tigers! Lookin good guys!
W For the Tigers!

Defensive Shout Outs!
Brant started us out with the catch of the pop r-upper!

Hartland threw to Abedn for the out at 2nd!

Hartland was busy....Out #3... Hartland to Wyatt for the Out at 1st!

Abedn to Brant for the out for 2nd! Little fella was movin too! Great Play Guys!

Ya Boy Abedn then turned around caught the pop up...then threw to Brant at 2nd base for the Double Play! Come on in guys...that's a wrap on that one!

Get Ready for 3 up and 3 Down...Our Boys were on fire!

Brant to Wyatt for the out at 1st....2 times in a row....and from the looks of the pic...looks like Brant threw one from his knees! Great Defense Guys!

Batter #3....Hartland is the man with the catch...come on in guys! That's the way to keep them from scoring

Brant for the pop up! I have in my notes...3 Gloves Together! Brant, Abedn and Hartland...this pic fit it pretty well!

2 outs! Bases Loaded.....You hear 2 outs...1 more out guys coming from the stands....

The bat goes bing, and there goes Abedn...he fields and crawls to 2nd base for 3rd out at 2nd base!!!!! You go #12

Offensive Shout Outs!
All of our boys did a great job of hitting the ball!
Wyatt had a nice double!

Braden knocked 2 runs in!

Reece had a nice hit out to the fence! Stand up Double!

Peyton had 2 out to the fence! Way to hum em bud!

In my opinion...I think they did a lot better at running the bases too. The coaches had the assistance of an 8 year old at practice to help demonstrate the running of the bases and boy could you tell!
The Running of the Bulls....I mean bases!

Hunter Bethel

Peyton Woods

Zachary Shoultz

Brant McSwain

Reece Wolfe

Great Effort Mentions!

Braden was oh so close with a tag at third base. I wish I knew who threw him the ball...had to be the left fielder, but I can't tell who it is...I think it's Luke, but I'm not 100%....this was warm up for Braden....stay tuned...Braden gets em and gets em good!

Blake stops a nice shot....gets it in to 2nd....almost had the out...oh so close.....That was his warm up...stay tuned!

Saturday: Game 2 State Tournament

LPR Tigers vs. CL Trojans

W For the Tigers!

Defensive Shout Outs!
Hartland started us out ...caught the pop up!

One time Blake threw it so hard it knocked him on his feet...way to get it in bud,

Then, he threw it to Braden for the out at 2nd base....boy did we need that OUT! Way to go Guys!

Hunter Bethel with the catch of the pop up! O-U-T!

Kuddos to Hartland and Peyton for the out on 3rd base...although i think that's a shot at 2nd base!

Wabble Babble!

A ball bounced out of Abedn's glove, then another ball bounced out of Brant's glove....

Our ump said....There must be butter on that ball!

Fellas redeemed themselves quick with 2 line drive catches....Ump comes back after Abedn's catch and says...where's ESPN when you need em!

Then, Brant made his catch...Ump says let me see that glove....there must have glue in there!
Wyatt had a nice throw in from left field!

Offensive Shout Outs!

Peyton had a nice shot to the fence! Double! Knocked in Hunter for the S-C-O-R-E!

Abedn had a nice shot out to Left Field

Reece hit one right in the hole! Scored 2 runs!

Brant hit one right over 2nd base! Knocked his bud Reece in!

Zach was SAFE at 2nd! The Trojan went for 1st but then decide to go for 2nd base, but Zach kept his pace and he was SAFE!

Luke tried to make us a little nervous! He hit a beauty of a shot out to Left Field...Ump called it foul...looked fair to all of us peeps in the stands!

He redeemed himself! Last Pitch..he had to hit it.....and he did! One more shot right out to left field...FAIR BALL THIS TIME

After the play....the UMP says Umpires don't make bad calls, they make questionable calls, ....some are just more questionalbe than others!

Way to Hang Luke!

As a peep in the stands....you'll often hear! "Hartland where you going with it!" That's dear old Dad in the stands with the constant reminder! Not only does Edwin remind Hartland where to go but he'll say Abedn coming to you or Brant be ready and he's very consistent with his information...he logs where the other team hits the ball! It Takes every one of us to make us the team that we are! Keep it up Edwin!

Looks like Hartland was going to third base with this one! Nice sequence of events! Great Shots Laura!

Speaking of great shots....Susan. I just love this one! One skill that I can tell the guys have learned this season.....they are getting so good at backing each other up.....this is a great shot showing Braden and then Abedn both backing Hartland up!

A big round of applause for your coaches...they are doing excellent! They're the ones teaching the little ones to always have each other's back!

Homerun Fun!

HARTLAND - 2 OUTS DOUBLE PLAY! i don't have any other info written down in my notes on this, and I can't remember the play. it just saYs Hartland 2 outs Double Play! I'm thinking Hartland caught the pop up and then threw to get the baserunner, and I'm sure another little Tiger helped him wiTH this play, but for some reason I didn't write it down! So Congrats to the mystery man and my apologies please! If you remember this play, please comment and I'll fix it!

HARTLAND MADE A NICE THROW TO WYATT FOR THE OUT AT 1ST!

POP UP WAS HIT TO IN AND AROUND THE FIRST BASE AREA! WYATT WAS CALLING IT...HARTLAND SNAGGED IT RIGHT UP! GLAD SOMEBODY GOT IT, FROM THE LOOKS OF THE PIC...LOOKS LIKE IT COULD HAVE BEEN A WABBLER!

Congrats to Blake! We'll give Blake credit for 1.5 catches out there....he made the out one time! Woo Hoo! and then he almost had it the 2nd time....he was quick to get the ball back in! Way to stay with it!

Congrats to Wyatt on catching the pop up! Way to get under the ball!

Congrats to Peyton on the catch out in right field!
